Too kind from you, but I know my limits in English, and I have more to trun around an iodea than be able to express it directly... But well, when you get the passion...LOL Best nicolas
The poor mans tourbillon?
Hi Fouad, Interesting idea. Some say that A.-L. Breguet’s concept for the original tourbillon was to evenly distribute lubricants within the escapement, rather than cancelling out the effects of gravity which is the usual ‘primary benefit’ discussed. Alth...
